Thanks. That statement "we've become a nation that places much higher value on wealth then liberty itself", was inspired by the most prominent signer of our Declaration of Independence, John Hancock.
At the time, John Hancock was among the wealthiest of British subjects in the colonies. Remaining loyal to the British crown assured his continued wealth and prosperity, but not liberty.
